DigitalOcean integration: AI agents for cost and server alerts
DigitalOcean is a cloud provider with servers (Droplets), Kubernetes, managed databases and storage, used by startups and product teams. The agent uses the public DigitalOcean API with a limited-scope token to track resources, costs and alerts, and changes go through approval.
What AI agents do with DigitalOcean
Bill explained
The agent shows which projects and resources weighed most on the month's bill and what changed compared with the previous one.
Forgotten Droplet
The agent finds test servers that have been running for months with no traffic and proposes shutting them down or taking a snapshot, after approval.
Server alert with context
When CPU, disk or memory passes the limit, the agent gathers recent metrics and alerts the team channel with the service name.
Backups up to date
The agent checks that critical Droplets and databases have backups enabled and warns the owner when one is missing.
Connect DigitalOcean once. The agents use it within your rules.
- Through the APIConnected through the app’s API: iTeam learns the endpoints from the documentation and the scope is confirmed in the diagnosis.
- Each agent gets the right accessYou decide what each agent can read or do in DigitalOcean, by area and by person.
- Human approval where it mattersSensitive actions wait until someone with the authority approves them.
- A trail and a cost for every actionWho asked, what the agent did in DigitalOcean and what it cost, all on record.

Questions about DigitalOcean and AI agents
Does iTeam integrate with DigitalOcean?
Yes. iTeam connects through the public DigitalOcean API, using a token created by your team.
Can the agent destroy servers?
Only if the token allows it and the action is approved. We recommend a read token with restricted write access; everything is recorded in the audit trail.
Does it work for DigitalOcean Kubernetes?
Yes. The agent reads the state of the clusters and warns of problems, and changes follow the same approval rule.
